I think it’s less ‘vultures’ and more a lot of people with mid projects on the margin, who are genuinely goodhearted but whose various legitimate personal needs (money, professional advancement) outweigh and obscure consideration of the impartial good, because they are doing a good thing and they do need money, it’s just their work is merely okay, and it would be too rude to tell them this. Each person is imperfectly aligned, and when you grow the pot of funding/people the amount of misalignment scales with it due to entropy and noise.
